But spamming and self promotion are two separate things. Of course spamming should be banned, regardless of source

I never got the no self promotion thing on Reddit. It’s a shame to see it continue here

Heh. Nice

Yep, pretty damn messed up. They put out like 3 or 4 of them before I guess enough people complained about the overt propaganda targeting minors

The Verge was a breathe of fresh air when it first launched. The rest of tech news had enshitified pretty well at the time. But now they’ve been around long enough to be the establishment rather than the disruptor

Yup, came here to say something similar. The author completely lost me when I got to the part talking down about Mastodon

We used to play this game with my improv troupe in college, it’s so much fun

DPaste.org - source is available and was created by an old coworker. I’ve used it for years

I’m fairly convinced this whole Doom game is just a way for them to prep the Id Tech engine for the needs of the next Skyrim game

I think the dedicated block to handle decompression is the biggest innovation the PS5 brought in, beyond M2 SSDs

Snaps are crap. Not using them is one of the main reasons I’m considering switching to Mint

I thought the story sounded unique and interesting. But now that I’ve realized it’s a turn-based RPG I’m way more hyped about it!

This looks fun. I’d love to try it, but I don’t see any console support 🙁

The frame rate on this trailer looked atrocious 😬

Wow, and the first electronic 2 axis stick, like we still use today was invented all the way back in 1926 🤯

I learned about this because of Phoenix’s song Lisztomania back in the day

I truly believe there were only 2 factors that mattered in its death. First and foremost was the massive amount of debt the failure of the Saturn had left Sega already trying to recover from. If they hadn’t had that to worry about it would have been financially successful as it stood.

The second factor was more insidious. Sony did such a good job hyping up the PS2 that people really believed it would be way more powerful than the DC. Yet the DC could produce better graphics than the PS2 at launch. But that’s not what the public perception was. I worked at Electronic’s Boutique during the PS2’s launch, and no matter how much I tried it was impossible to diffuse the hype around it when I would try to convince people there was no need to wait and they should get a Dreamcast today rather than waiting for the PS2. But it was a lost cause most of the time. And ultimately those people are better off with how things eventually played out

You could also make your Chao fight each other, kinda like a Pokemon battle. Required two VMUs hooked together

I used to have Chao fights with my friend at lunch in high school. The VMUs totally worked

Copyright was never meant to be used how it is today. It was specifically made to protect small creators from having big companies come in and rip them off. Companies were never meant to be the beneficiaries. But lot of lobbying plus corporations are people too bullshit changed that.

Copyright is meant to last roughly the lifetime of the artist, but organizations can live forever. And then nothing ever goes in the public domain, a shared culture dissolves in to nothingness.
